Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017182300A1] Fractionation optimization receives inputs including a radiation dose distribution to be delivered by fractionated radiation therapy, maximum and minimum number of fractions, and Biologically Effective Dose (BED) constraints for one or more organs-at-risk. A two-dimensional (2D) graph is displayed of a parameter X equal to or proportional to (I) versus a parameter Y equal to or proportional to (II) where N is the number of fractions, D is a total radiation dose to be delivered by the fractionated radiation therapy, and d t is the fractional dose in fraction t. A constraint BED lines are displayed on the 2D graph depicting each BED constraint. A marker is displayed at a location on the 2D graph defined by a current fractionation and a current total dose. A new value for the current fractionation and/or the current total dose is received, and the marker is updated accordingly. Alternatively a second marker is displayed showing the new fractionation scheme along with its comparative advantages and disadvantages with respect to the current fractionation.
